7 quick takes

1 - Happy Friday!

2 - Yesterday a reporter from the ABC affiliate in Springfield, IL came to the house for an interview. I was a little nervous since I am never sure how the secular media will represent the Church so I was completely delighted when I opened my door and immediately recognized the reporter. We have a mutual friend and so I had heard of him, seen his picture, and knew he is a solid Catholic. God is so good!

3 - I'm excited about the Olympics but I'm also a little confused - the countdown on the official London Olympic website says the opening is in 5 hours (I'm writing this at 9:30 am). So I guess I'll just be ready at 2 and leave NBC on for the rest of the day!

5 - Check out all the school supplies for Diane's Garden! People are so generous!

6 - Cute pictures of the kiddos:

Lydia with Sr. Marie Noelle, O.P. It was a great trip and I'll post more about it next week. I'll tell you about how I scared a couple of nuns and tips for keeping my 4 year old happy during an 8 hour car ride.

Bennet and his trains.

James and his cute, cheesy smile.

My sweet little Teresa.

7 - Travis goes back to work in two weeks! Two weeks! I am not ready for him to be gone and it's probably time I start working on a routine so things are easier when he's gone. Summer always goes so quickly.

I read you were leaving James behind on the trip because he's 22 months old and it's a long car ride. How I can relate! I don't blame you a bit. :-) He's such a total cutie in this picture. What a killer smile. I'm glad Teresa has been an easy baby for you. I'm sure that helps. I, too, am floored summer is over. I go back to work next week. My kids and husband are going to be in shock when "working mom" returns to our home. She's a lot different than "stay at home mom". And it's generally not pretty.

Fulton Sheen clarifying

Prayer for Canonization of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Father, source of all holiness, You raise up within the Church in every age men and women who serve with heroic love and dedication. You have blessed Your Church through the life and ministry of Your faithful servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. He has written and spoken well of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and was a true instrument of the Holy Spirit in touching the hearts of countless people.

If it be according to your Will, for the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity and for the salvation of souls, we ask You to move the Church to proclaim him a saint. We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
